Ellisons waste solutions | Application Preview
Ellisons Waste Solutions is seeking government grants to launch a septic service business. The funding will be primarily used to acquire a septic truck and necessary equipment due to current financial challenges.
The business plan aims for the owner to transition from full-time employment to operating the septic company within six months. Within the first three years, the goal is to expand to 3 to 4 trucks and hire a similar number of staff.
The motivation for approval is centered around making a positive impact in the community, as there are limited service providers and often long wait times for customers. The goal is to offer prompt service and exceed customer expectations, distinguishing the company through pricing and a commitment to respect and honesty.
In terms of competition, while there are a few existing companies, the owner believes that a focus on customer care and reliable service will set them apart. Lower pricing and a strong emphasis on respect and timely service are key elements of their competitive strategy.

I plan on using the grants to purchase equipment to start my septic company up. Unfortunately, I am financially having trouble starting my business. The money from the grant will be used to purchase a septic truck and equipment I need to get started.

Business Plan
I’m hoping within the first six months of operating I will be able to quit my full-time job and work for myself full-time and I would like to have at least 3 to 4 trucks within the first three years of business. I also would like to have at least 3 to 4 people on payroll within them three years as well. Because I am trying to make a difference in the community. Because there’s only a few companies here. I would like to be able to respond quickly to customer services as some companies have 2 to 3 weeks back logs

Self Identified Competition
I would think the difference between the few competitors around here would be pricing. I would like to treat all my customers as if I were them I think if you treat someone with respect, honesty and dignity, they will always use you and that would make a difference in the community, knowing that you were a respected company and family owned and operated I don’t think much would be different. I would say my prices would be a little lower, and I would hope they treat all their customers with respect and kindness, and show up to do the job when they tell them they will be there.
